Adobe PDF setup

by Frank Fu

The following is the desired state I would like configured when using Adobe Acrobat PDF reader.

  • Set page display to "Two pages continuous" by default
  • Hide Tools Pane by default
  • Hide menu bar by default (not possible, press F9 as workaround)
  • Hide tool bar by default (not possible, press F8 as workaround)

Set page display to "Two pages continuous" by default

Edit > Preferences > Page Display > Page Layout : Two-Up

Hide Tools Pane

Step 1 - Hide the tools pane

View > Show/Hide > Tools Pane

Step 2 - Request Adobe PDF to remember this preference

Edit > Preferences > Documents > Remember current state of Tools Pane
